Each bubble carries a single alphabet. You must form as many words from these alphabets. A valid word formed causes the bubbles to sink some distance, depending on the length of the word formed. The game ends when the bubbles reach the red line near the surface. Key features include - - Choose from three different modes - 5 letters, 6 letters or 7 letters - New simpler and faster swipe based interface for making words - Word meanings at the end of a round - Game Center enabled leaderboards
